Invest in Your Dreams
Fulfilling your life ambitions can be an
overwhelming task, so can managing your
investments. At Citizens First, our team
works with you to assign your finances
with your life's goals.
I read with frustrating interest your
reporting on the comments of the
lay leader of Detroit Jewry represent-
ing the Jewish Community Relations
Council ("Whose Immigrants?" July
26, page 17):
• The mayor of Warren is concerned
with the number of people now unem-
ployed in his community. He has every
right to be concerned as to the impact
of a large number of Iraqi refugees
coming into his community and the
impact on their job market.
•Why do we, the Jewish community,
feel that we must be the first to dive
into the fray when it has yet not been
clearly defined how many immigrants
are coming?
• It is my understanding that indi-
viduals in Metro Detroit are vouching
to take care of these refugees (many are
relatives) with housing, clothing, etc.
• Refugees of the early 1900s took
care of their own: Jews took care
of Jews, Irish the Irish, Italian the
Italians, etc.
•Who came to the aid of the
Russian immigrants, who entered our
community with substantive aid?
I noted in your same edition a let-
ter about the plight of Jewish seniors
who also have some needs that require
our attention ("Jewish Home Needed,"
page 6).
Also, the Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit has established
an emergency fund relative to helping
our Israeli brothers and sisters: food,
housing, etc.
There are numerous serious needs
of our own people that need to be
addressed now. We should not concern
ourselves with issues that have not yet
occurred.

FRIDAY NIGHT CLAY MIXER — August 24

The recognition of BBYO and our
efforts to enrich and expand our pro-
gram to the teens of our Jewish com-
munity is certainly much appreciated.
The IN has always helped us to pass
along our message of more meaning-
ful Jewish experiences to more Jewish
teens.
The ongoing news coverage of
Michigan Region BBYO has been very
helpful to us in reaching prospective
BBYOers and their parents and we
appreciate it.
